Plug for [name redacted]! My buddy [name redacted] is killing it!

He's now on a mission to transform the landscape of the city and turn often neglected patches of grass into thriving microecosystems.

Been an incredibly positive response so far, if anyone is interested in starting something similar we've discussed open sourcing it so others can do in their own city.

I have always thought of a service like this one but it wouldn't be sustainable where I live due to lack of access to water if it grows. Centralized farming is arguably better suited given existing micro farms and outdated tooling.

But, this is a neat idea. I hope this grows big.

Great idea! I've just recently setup a veggie patch, I can't believe I used to pay for my greens.

From the home page "Between 1989 and 2005, the price of fruits and vegetables in the US increased by 75 percent." Is that corrected for inflation?
